Electronic Inspection Board - Hairiness Tester
INTRODUCTION
The spun yarn uniformity has always been an important quality control parameter as it affects the commercial value of the yarn. Defects such as thick places, thin places, neps, hairiness and yarn appearance contribute to the overall yarn uniformity and altogether they define the character of the end product.
The Electronic Inspection Board for Spun Yarns and Hairiness, EIB-S is a test instrument, which offers very quick, precise yarn analysis based on the yarn diameter measurements. A CCD camera is used to measure the diameter values with 3.25micron precision when the yarn is moving at test speeds up to 300m/min.
The unique camera design provides the ability to test natural and synthetic yarns as well as high performance yarns including carbon, glass or hybrid yarns that cannot be tested with capacitive based systems.
Yarn Analysis Software program, YAS measures the yarn diameter and classifies the yarn defects such as thick places, thin places, neps and slubs by their diameter and length. The program provides the best simulated yarn appearance board in the market. The flexibility included in YAS software allows the operator to change board length and yarn fault descriptions without retesting the yarn. This allows the user to evaluate the same yarn at different loom widths to see if any periodicity develops. Diameter data can also be exported to a fabric simulation software for further analysis.
FEATURES
